Imber Court Photography Courses & Training

"Thanks very much for the last three days. It was a wonderful introduction to photography. I wish it had gone on for a full week, not because of anything missing from the three days but just because I was enjoying every minute of it. You are an excellent tutor and the rest of the class were really pleasant as well and made it so relaxing and good fun."

"The most emjoyable three days that I have experienced for a long time. Thank you."

"Just a quick e-mail to thank you very much for the excellent course over the last few days. I enjoyed it very much, from the venue, company, and your expert teaching....not forgetting the delicious food. It all flowed very well. Thank you once again for your time and patience."

"My second course and another very enjoyable experience. I recommend you to anyone interested in learning about photography."

"Thank you for the great training course. I really thoroughly enjoyed it and have actually been out and taken some pretty good photo’s since, so I’m dead chuffed!

"At last the world has stopped for a few moments and I have had the time to really digest all I learnt on my three day beginners course. I must say that you were brilliant and taught me in a way that ensured I was confident in my ability and safe to ask as many questions as I needed to with out being made to feel inferior in any way thank you."

"I would, and have, recommend this course to anyone who was interested in learning about the use of their camera. Can not wait for the portrait course to come around. Thank you for three fantastic days training. "

"Brilliant - I came away feeling confident I can now take some lovely pictures. Everything outlined in the course content was covered and I understood what was being taught. Ashley was very competent and very friendly and enthusiastic. "

"Hi Ashley and everyone, It was a pleasure to be with you all over the last 3 days and Ashley thanks so much for an excellent course. I came on the course with high expectations and they were exceeded!!
The notes are very helpful and the feedback sheet will follow.
Best wishes to all and happy snapping!

" I really loved the course and felt I got an enormous amount out of it. I loved spending the day at Painshill – so useful to try out all we had learnt. I cannot believe how I have gained the confidence to get out and shoot. And, how much more I want to learn. I feel totally motivated and inspired to learn more. I would love to do the lowlight course and the photoshop one as I have now investigated that and I don’t think I will get there on my own! I would also be interested in doing a more advanced course at some time to move on when I have put into practise all I have learnt so far. Thank you so much – it was a great 3 days!"

" It worked really well for me, explaining aperture, speed, ISO, depth of field etc which had all been a mystery for a lifetime. Now feel competent to explore the features of my camera and develop my skills and reading the manual sort of makes sense (most of the time!).
Appreciated the offer of contact with any queries that might come up in the future".

"The course ran over three days and they were the most enjoyable three days I have had in a long time. Ashley's enthusiasm was infectious. I was a total beginner with a digital SLR camera and Ash has given me the knowledge and confidence to progress. I would have liked the course to have continued. A photographic course I would recommend to all beginners. I would definitely attend another of Ash's courses."
 
"Ashley Gardner was the trainer. He was brilliant. He was extremely competent, proficient, motivated and enthusiastic."

"The course covered everything that I wanted to know. I think it has given me a good basic knowledge and skills enabling me to make more effective use of my camera on a day-to-day basis, but it has also provided a good platform from which to continue to develop. "

"I was very nervous of taking the course - particularly as I did not have a big, fancy SLR camera. Ash was able to tailor the specifics to suit my more modest camera and experience. I liked the fact that there were only five people on the course; Ash was able to give everybody individual attention as and when they needed it. I feel really motivated to try to take better pictures, now. I will recommend this course to my friends."

"Ashley scored high in all the above. With his teaching skills as well as his knowledge of photography and understanding of the various cameras produced by the class, we all felt our needs were well looked after. The various settings on our cameras were explained in such a way through out the course that even the most basic photographer like me will abandon the “auto settings” for life!"

"10 out of 10! We had great fun in class and on our field trips ; Painshill Park was beautiful and offered lots of fantastic photo opportunities I have now a much better understanding of my camera and come to understand what a fantastic tool it really is. I am left with a very positive experience that will encourage me to work on my photography skills in the future."

"I just want to say a huge Thank You to Ashley and looking forward to the next course!!"
